Occupational Therapy Assessment

A holistic and comprehensive assessment includes parent interviews and questionnaires, standardized assessments and clinical observations of the child, and a written recommendations report.

The entire assessment will take up to 2 hours, consisting of assessment tasks and clinical observations (90 minutes), then followed by a parent discussion about the assessment findings, goalsetting, and potential treatment plan (30 minutes).

Key areas addressed: self-care skills, written output, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, primitive reflex integration, visual perception, functional vision screening, sensory processing and modulation, play and socioemotional skills, executive functioning.

Occupational Therapy Treatment

Direct 1:1 OT sessions, with an OT or a supervised OTA (Occupational Therapy Assistant) in the child's home, community or preschool/daycare setting.

Session frequency will depend on the child's need, progress, and carryover of recommendations into the child's everyday life. Our treatments will often look like play, but embedded with therapeutic benefits of the 'just-right challenge' to motivate and support the child's development toward their goals.

service delivery

In-person services are offered via community visits (at the child/youth's home, school/daycare, and local playground/parks) to families living in the Greater Vancouver region.

Teletherapy (online) is offered through a secure video or voice calling platform (based on client preference).

Online OT can be just as effective and engaging as in-person sessions and helps to reduce travel costs as well. Parent support for 1:1 online OT is recommended as a helping hand in session.
